After a long wait, finally our Research paper on “Corpora for Speaker
Recognition Research and Evaluation in Oriya” is published in IEEE Xplore.
The research was carried out to implement technology for future usage in
dialect classifications and it was a marvelous experience with all of us
when we were been to remote areas of Orissa to carry out the operation.
Out of thousands of technical research papers submitted for the prestigious
ICIT (International Conference on Industrial Technology) 2006 held at IIT
Mumbai from Dec 15-17, our paper was selected among the best 150 research
papers to be accepted for the same.
We were afraid at that time as we were just B.Tech graduates and will be
competing with the tech wagons across the globe for acceptance of the paper
for the conference. Due to God’s grace and the well wishes of the poor
people, we proved that its a concrete feasible idea that rules. We are proud
to share that our paper was categorized in Cat ORAL-X (contained the top
30-35 best papers).

However you may not be able to view the research paper as it requires
authenticity, so I have attached the copy of the same in this mail to have a
look. The success could not have been achieved without my mates Bikas
Kar(sasken) and Bishnu Bhatt(TCS) and of course yes our guide and torch
bearer Hemant Arjun patil, who stand with us even when our department showed
red signal for the same. I still remember the kick-off moment of the project
when there was a departmental collision that was about to collapse our aim,
still then “whenever there is a will, there is a way” repeated and yes
history has been created with Oriya language research.
A guide, a teacher and a torch bearer who broke the rules of the educational
department to help us prove ourself is really admirable. My heartiest thanks
and wishes to all those poor people of remote part of Orissa, who have
helped the world to advance in technology even when they are still in the
uncivilized age. I recall we were been to such places where people were far
from electricity and awareness, but extended their generous support to make
a better world for people who are in information age. Innovation never comes
alone or demands your aptitude alone, what it demands is your vision and
concreteness in it. Thanks again to all the well wishers and supporters who
have helped us in achieving such an accolade.
